i« solid for Grant

How many and who of the present council are candidates for re.election.

Tyler Miuion, the well-known temperance lecturer, has received a gold watch an a present from the temperance workers of Indiftnapnli*.

PROP. TICK i# in Muwouri studying into the wcientifk: causes and effects of the late Htorm which did so much damage in that section of tho country.

THE outlook for Grant is a little bad to-day. Georgia sends a majority of delegates for Sherman, and so far, Illinois is sending a majority for Blaine, and Ohio will be very likely to send Sherman men.

A TKJ.ROUAM from Washington says that the delegateH thus fur appointed from the State# to the Chicago convention stand thus: For Grant, 202 Maine, W Sherman, fi Edmund*,, 40 Wimiiburne, if.

A Jti'Kctai. to the Cincinnati Commercial Hay# that Col. Thompson and family are going to San Francisco on the last of May in a sfwcial cur In be gone a month or more. It is to be hoped he will stop at home and see his friends before he goes farther went on his pleasure trip.

A TKLEOHAM to the Cincinnati Commercial to-day has some very interesting reading on the exodus business. It seems that Daniel's committee has run out of money, and the witnesses have been compelled to discount their vouchers. Daniel tried to discount a lot at less than ten per cent, but couldn't find takes. Read the dispatch.

THK Chicago Journal says that if Grant in not satisfied that he can be both nominated and elected, he will not suffer his name to go before the convention at all. Grant should then satisfy himself on that point immediately after the Illinois State convention and if 'lie then thinks the chances are against him, withdraw in favor of Washburne.

THR fact that Col. Rose is the man who planned and superintended the escape from Libby prison has put a considerable quantity of cold water on the Straight boom. It needed something to *cool it. and the NEWS as the first advocate of "Honor to whom honor is due," has completely cooled Gca. Straight's story, and left tho lienor where it belongs and that is to Col. Rose.

Notice la hereby given t)iat we shall begin proceedings nt once against Smith, of the Danville union, and Xangsdale, of the Greencastle Bonner, for publishing that cat story last week. They sha'n't he long to the same church we do.—Attica ledger.

We have a cat in this town that is very dangerous to the society of this comtnun ity, at least when he purs, but you dare not say anything about it.

Ws are reliably informed that Mr. llolcg. whose obligations and debts the mild Common Council of the city of Terra Haute have made the said city lia hie to pay. lias property, real and per sonai, in Vigo county, of the value of from five to seven thousand dollars.

Silence and division is an excellent quality for men who desire their misconduct covered up. But its not satisfactory to a "sniped" constituency. This thing looms up mora and mora, and we are ex coiedingiy anxious to have the Hon. Mayor and members of the council explain on what ground they unanimously voted to make the city pav Boteg's debts.

1st our Issue to-day will be found the call for the Republican ward meeting tomorrow night. Every Republk-ftn should attend and show by their presence and en thusiasm that the Republican party intends to stop Ute scheme of pubHc plunder that has pcrrnded oor eity government the last two years under Democratic administration. Remember the Boleg steal and see that the right men are put In the right place. The anion of the Demoftal* last night at their ward meetings, show that they are yet led by political tricksters and all good Democrats who are In favor of eeoaomy and public food, will unite with the Republican party In potting a quietus on this wholesale robbery of the people's money. Let no personal feeling interpose between you and the ta««ss of the Republican party, hut work as a oait for the wrongest men.

Not only is the praps all over the eountmfaking up the Hfkeen boom, but all th^rroifoent men jf the |£&te are now diteosshig the question of who' is the strongest man the Republicans can nominate for Governor. These men have almost unanimously agreed that Riley McKeen is the man the people want. We have heard it said that Mr. McKeen does not want the office. 3ft\ McKeen is so affiliated with the Republican party that he cannot afford to see. Republicans lose Indiana when his acceptance would insure success. Mr. McKeen is the man the people demand, and he is the only man, in our humble judgment, that can carry the Republican banner to victory in our next election.

THE JOU&HAL AMD 8TBEIGHT. The Journal of to-day is cruel enough to puncture the boom General Streight has projected out of his escape from Libby. It is cruel because the story, as the Gubernatorial candidate-tells it. is intensely interesting. He held on audience spell-bound and delighted two hours and and a half with it the other night. That is saying a good deal.—Cineimiati

THE BUREAU SUSINE88.

The Indianapolis Journal ia making a bitter fight against Col. Streight on what it calls his "literary bureau," that is to sav, because when the Colonel finds complimentary notices of himself or his candidacy lie circulates these papers. Will the Journal please point out the decidedly objectionable features of this mode of urging one's claims? To our certain knowledge it has been the custom for years' with those who wanted a nomination to visit in person just us many counties as possible, see as many as tliev could, and we notice that such candidates invariably found it convenient to cjill :it country printing offices, and that they usually got gratuitous notices. Is one more objectionable than the other.—S/ulbyville Republic tin.

No one objects to Col. Streight visiting just as many counties and persons as he sees fit but what the people do object to, is the liberal use of a "barl," to the detri merit of good men who are not gifted with that necessary requisite to a good Bureau. The Indianapolis Journal and all good men object to a "bar!" as against brains.

The.retiring editor of the Ledgevwishes to acknowledge the uniformly courteous treatment he has received at the hands of all his editorial brethren. It was duly appreciated.—Atica ledger.

We haven't the pleasure of knowing our brethern, but suppose- he must be good, otherwise he would have been "bounced" long ago.

is I

Com-

mtrcial of to-day. We should think Mr. Streight would feel very sad after knowing that the people of Indiana weie acquainted with the facts surrounding the escape from Libby, and know that he knew nothing of it until invited by Col. Hose to go with him.

Bed Hotter Fair Fl*j.

If the Journal is possessed of reliable information that Gen. Straight has committed any crime which djsqualilletUiini for the nomination let it name it. That would be an honorable, man!y course add a genuine service to the party throughout the state. If there is nothing of the serious character we mentipn—if Gen, Streight is, as we understand and believe him to be, an honest man—then the attack we quote from the State Journal is utterly unwarranted and indecent. The Courier is holding its support "for the strongest man for the race, reserving a choice and committal until the time of the convention, but if the Journal perseveres in its course a sense of fair play may drive us, with the multitude of the Republicans of the state, directly into the arms of the Streight boom—bureau and all.—Madiwn Courier.

We think Gen. Streight done a very, wrong thing in trying to carry off the laurels and honors of Col, Rose in th'e Libby prison escape and assume them on himself. The Madison Courier, a few' days ago, published a long article on (Jen. Straight's connection with that escape and hoped thereby to create quite a boom for its favorite candidate but it so happens that it can be pcoved beyond any question that! Gen. Straight had nothing whatever to do with the plan and escape from "Libby" prison, and knew nothing of it until he was invited to join in the escape. It is not that he committed any crime, that the Journal and other papers are complaining I of, but the manner in which he has treated Col. Hose and then we do not think Gen. Streight the man that the people want in this contest.

WE notice that a number of the provincial papers of the Republican household in this State are disposed to censure the State Journal in unmeasured terms for calling in question the propriety of Gen. Streight's action in organizing a bureau for the furtherance of his gubernatorial aspirations. And it seems these same papers also take the liberty to censure the Journal with like severity for the mere mention of the name of the man of its choice for Governor, and daring to offer an opinion JUS to the relative strength of the various candidates asking the nomination. In this, it occurs to us, our brethren of the provincial press exhibit a mite of too much arrogance, especially when we consider that these strictures mainly emanate from papers which are paid by the square for their columns of tulsome praise of this or that man who may lianpen to be ablo to furnish most liberally the sinews of war. Generally speaking, our sympathies are with the provincial press, but to our mind, in this particular controversy, the Journal is in the right. That such means are practiced securing Democratic nominations is no reason that. Republicans should follow their example. —Ilockville Tribune.

Our neighbor talks about right, and we congratulate him upon his good sense, and think that some of our other neighbors would do well to drop into the same channel.

Nature is content with little grace with less, but lust with nothing.
